The Perfect Storm Spawns a New Era of Whistleblower Activity (Silicon Valley)

The Garden Court Hotel, 520 Cowper Street, Palo Alto, CA

The first cash bounty paid to a Dodd-Frank's whistleblower by the SEC’s Whistleblowers Office, along with significant pro-whistleblower legal developments in the interpretation of SOX and Dodd-Frank protections for whistleblowers, have led to a dramatic increase in whistleblower claims and threats to file claims. The impact of these changes is being felt by companies around the globe as they struggle to encourage internal reporting despite the incentives for whistleblowers to bypass such disclosure.
